About the Prairie Pest Monitoring Network

WHY WE EXIST

The concept of a coordinated insect surveillance program for the prairies first took shape in 1997. Since then, the Prairie Pest Monitoring Network (PPMN) has been involved in developing monitoring protocols and in coordinating and conducting insect population monitoring of pests of field crops. The distribution and abundance of insect pests that affect field crops is correlated with climate, weather, agronomic practices, and natural enemies. These factors can be utilized to forecast insect pest populations and better understand where and when crops may be affected.

WHO WE ARE

The PPMN is comprised of field crop entomologists who conduct research and actively monitor to support crop protection on the Canadian prairies. It includes researchers from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Manitoba Agriculture, Saskatchewan Agriculture, Alberta Agriculture & Irrigation as well as University researchers. Industry stakeholders provide regular input and valuable insight at annual PPMN working group meetings.
